How to Make Popcorn in a Brown Paper Sack (Hint: It’s SUPER Easy!)

I’ve got to say thank you to Mrs. Stephanie Hott for teaching me how to do make popcorn in a brown paper sack.

You may remember a while back I posted about my new popcorn maker and how much I loved it. Well, it broke. Just like I read in the reviews of my maker, it broke basically without effort during cleanup one day. I was very upset. But then relieved when Stephanie told me about making popcorn this way.

Directions:Measure 1/4 cup of kernels into your measuring cup. Pour into brown paper sack. Curl up edges of the bag so that the kernel don’t escape during popping. Microwave for 2 minutes (give of take). Stop the microwave if 2-3 seconds pass between pops. It cooks faster in the thin brown paper bag. After it’s finished popping, pour into your bowl. Then, melt 2 tablespoons of butter (or more if you are a butter addict) in the microwave. About 20-30 seconds to liquify. Then, drizzle 1/2 over your popcorn. Toss the popcorn to spread the first layer of butter around, then, pour the remaining butter over the popcorn. And, finally, enjoy!

Cost:

FREE – 1 bottle of kernels costs like $4, but I had mine in the house already. I bought it like 3 months ago and have made at least 8 batches of popcorn with it and have SO much left. It’s an insane value.

FREE – I bought a big stack of brown paper lunch sacks a long time ago for like $3 and never used them, so I also had these in the house.

Thank you, Lindsay and Mrs. Hott! I refuse to eat processed foods, particularly anything involving oil. I HATE bought miocrowave popcorn and still do mine in a skillet on the stovetop. This is even easier. And still healthy. Thanks a million. Reading the time, money and health-saving stuff you women post makes me think Millenials aren’t as light-headed as some “experts” suggest.
